still need to finish deadening, and take wiper off the back, and try to elimnate where all the rattling is in the back. thanks for comment

Ha...I feel your pain..There is so much rattling going on back there in my Exped..I haven't deadend at all yet...How much sq ft will it take to do the whole thing?

Oh and my wiper used to always rattle off that rubber block thing holding it up....and one day after a few minutes of driving and playing my stuff loud it wasn't there anymore...lol...guess it fell off...

well, had some unfortunate things happen last couple months, but I went ahead and installed everything since I had it. Now, I have some more important things I would rather take care of, so everything is coming out. It has been hooked up a little over 2 months now. I will be posting everything for sale hopefully by the weekend, or may leave it in if someone wants to hear it or is considering picking it up locally. Curious as what others may think, I want to sell both 18's and both sundown 1500d's, does $1300 sound about right. This is not the for sale ad, just trying to come up with fair price

well, things went better than I thought, and ended up keeping everything. Now, this weekend hopefully I will be building new box. This time I am going to wall it behind the 2nd row seat. Box will be same cubes, with port running along top. While its out, I will be adding at least 1 more d3100 and may go ahead and get a new alternator also. Updates will be posted as they happen. I may take couple more videos this week as it is now, its alot louder than it was when first installed, but looking to try something different

Cool man, good luck. I'm anxious to hear the differences, since I'm walled behind the 2nd row and was thinking about changing it up eventually.

Glad everything worked out mang.

Old box looks like the one I am getting done, but mine is flush mounted and kerfed. Nice job on old install, I am sure the new one will be even better.

updated, While everything was out, I bought a bulk pack of stinger roadkill. Stuff goes on very good and sticks great. I put expanding foam in all the roof braces first, then the 1 bulk pack was enough to do the whole roof and the back door. I doubled up on the roof in the places that flexed the most. Now I put all back in as it was, I couldnt see walling it just for the 2 subs, unless i was going to wall it behind front seats.

Now, my roof flexes still pretty bad, but there is not rattling coming from the roof. Back door is alot better, but now my back glass is terrible. I got a buddy of mine to hold in on the glass and I can still here it inside the truck with radio up. But, it sounds alot better than it did before. I will try to get some videos this week, I have to go to place up the road after they are closed. I try not to play it at house as much as possible, my neighbors still like me. LOL
